Profile
Damian is a rural geographer with research interests in various aspects of agri-food restructuring, and has worked at the CCRI since 2007. Damian is working across three research areas at present. First, he has a long-term research interest in alternative and local food networks. Second, he is working on projects related to animal and plant disease management, including a project examining farmer confidence in badger vaccination. Lastly, he is interested in debates about food security. Damian shares the role of subject group leader for the Farming and Food research cluster with Chris Short.
